Have you noticed that conversations are becoming harder to follow? Perhaps you're turning up the television or asking people to repeat themselves more often. These changes can happen gradually.
At Inlet Hearing in Port Moody, we begin by listening to your concerns, hearing history, and everyday communication challenges. A comprehensive evaluation looks at more than how quietly you can hear a sound. It also helps us understand speech clarity and how different parts of your hearing system are functioning.
Otoscopy lets us examine the ear canals and eardrums for visible concerns, including excessive earwax.
Pure-tone audiometry measures the softest sounds you hear at different pitches. Bone conduction testing helps us understand the type of hearing loss, if any.
Speech testing helps assess how clearly you recognize spoken words, which can be especially relevant when you have difficulty following conversations.
Tympanometry and, when appropriate, acoustic reflex testing provide information about your middle ear and hearing system. Your hearing professional selects the tests appropriate for you.
We explain the results in everyday language and discuss the next steps. These may include monitoring, communication strategies, medical referral, or hearing technology. There is no obligation to purchase hearing aids.
We are a locally owned, independent hearing clinic serving Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and surrounding communities. Our experienced hearing professionals use advanced clinical technology while taking time to understand each person.
No. You can book a hearing evaluation directly. If your results suggest that medical assessment is needed, we will explain the appropriate next steps.
If you've noticed changes in hearing or speech clarity, an evaluation can help you understand why. It also creates a useful baseline for the future. Sudden hearing loss, particularly in one ear, requires urgent medical assessment rather than a routine hearing appointment.
We want you to feel comfortable, informed, and confident about your hearing health. To book a comprehensive hearing evaluation at Inlet Hearing in Port Moody, call 604-840-6088.
